The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” -- Cicero , 55 B.C.

Seems America is caught up in a trial and error government. We can't seem to get elected officials in that are able to work together to solve problems. Meanwhile, they're making decisions to help other countries secure their borders and give them aid to re-build after the party is over.
I would say that your correct with a country trying to live off of "gimmies" instead of working. Some of the issues that have come across States for votes is down right silly. I retired from working for the City, and was Union. I agree with the Governors who run States that Unions cannot work in sustaining retirements at the States expense and still create a sustainable budget.
Entitlements and freud are running hand in hand. We cannot sustain a migrating countries population with hospitals, schools, welfare, and so on. These are serious problems with our American economy and it really is time for it to be addressed.
